BM1368 VS BM1370 ASIC Chip

The BM1368 and BM1370 ASIC chips are high-performance chips used in Antminer and Bitaxe solo miners. Their superior hash rate and power consumption make them stand out in the cryptocurrency industry. This article will explain these two series of chips in detail to help friends choose the right chip.

The BM1370 series ASIC chips include the BM1370BC, BM1370AA, BM1370PA, BM1370PB, which are suitable for the Antminer S21 Pro, S21+, S21XP, S21XP Hydro.

The BM1368 series ASIC chips include the BM1368PB, BM1368PA, BM1368PM, BM1368PV, BM1368AA, which can be used in the Antminer S21 IMM, S21, T21, S21 Hydro.

When selecting, it is recommended to keep consistent with the version of the ASIC chip on the original hash board.

At the same time, these two ASIC chips can also be used in the Bitaxe open-source miner. Today, to help everyone better understand them, I will use the Bitaxe miner as an example to illustrate the differences between them.

Performance of BM1368 vs BM1370 ASIC chips in Bitaxe solo miners

Based on the table, we draw the following conclusions:

I. Hash rate performance

1. The hash rate of a single BM1368 chip is 700+ GH/s, which is lower than the 1.2+ TH/s of the BM1370.

2. In multi-ASIC chip miners, increasing the number of chips can boost the overall hash rate. According to the table, the Bitaxe Supra Hex (700 series) and Bitaxe Gamma (600 series) demonstrate that a multi-chip configuration of BM1368 can surpass the hash rate of a single BM1370 chip. A higher hash rate means faster block mining.

II. Power consumption performance

According to the table, the BM1370 chip consumes only 15W at a hash rate of 1T, while the BM1368 chip consumes approximately 21W for the same hash rate. Therefore, the BM1370 has a clear advantage in power efficiency over the BM1368. The Bitaxe Gamma (600 series) achieves a higher hash rate while consuming less power. One thing to note is that the lower the power consumption, the lower the heat dissipation requirements.

Summary: The advantage of the BM1370 ASIC chip lies in its ability to deliver both a higher hash rate and lower power consumption simultaneously, whereas a single BM1368 ASIC chip provides a lower hash rate at higher power consumption. In the Bitaxe Supra Hex (700 series), despite the impressive hash rate performance achieved by its six BM1368 ASIC chips, the power consumption reaches as high as 90W.

In a comprehensive comparison, the single BM1370 ASIC chip holds a clear advantage, while the BM1368 falls slightly short. Nevertheless, both continue to shine in mining equipment. Let's look forward to even higher-performance ASIC chips emerging in the cryptocurrency industry.
